As much as I hate to do it, my first car has to go.  I got Mach 1 my senior year of high school in 1992.  I’m out of time where I have it stored in Los Angeles and I have no feasible way of getting it to my new home in Texas.  This is a 73 Mach 1,  351c 2bbl automatic with FMX trans (vin...

Any chance of putting out some pics / info on the body work to squeeze those 345's in there?  I was thinking something in the range of 315's for my '73 but not sure how much will actually fit in there.  Even adding tub's will only give about an inch or so of extra space due to the frame that's...

While your digging through '73 interior parts, any chance you have the "A" pillars for Mach 1?

73 Mach 1 H code

That's part of why I want to hit it with the grease/wax remover again after, it SHOULD knock off any flash rust before I prime it... Thanks for the heads up tho..

Yup,  I saw this, that's why I'm hitting the ospho a 2nd time,  then the grease / wax again, then primer.  I might even give another soap bath in there somewhere. But you see in the video how good it works IF it's done right.

I knew this question had do be asked in here somewhere and BEHOLD i have found it!  The magic question of how much...  I'm about to media blast my 73 Mach 1 sometime in the next couple of weeks (yes i'm doing it myself) and I want to get some primer on there as soon as I have the metal all...

I was thinking about doing the same thing to mine but haven't figured out all the parts I need yet, still a long way away from playing with the engine. What i'm curious about tho is.... how much $$?

A Craigslist ad might be worth while, just have to be really careful about who I'd go with. Leaving all my parts where who knows what can happen with them. I wouldn't mind looking into your shop if I wasn't on the opposite side of the county, somehow time to work on the car might be scarce...

you're right, I've called to smaller places and got the same story from both, due to insurance and liability they immediately dismissed any idea of renting out space. It's all good though, not having a roof isn't going to stop me from moving forward. Will do on the parts, If you have what i'm...

Great info and thank you, I'll check out the one in Oregon and compare it to one that's in L.A. and see if it's worth while. With the amount of work I already know I have to get done I've been leaning towards stripping the car before i do any metal work. I know it's going to hurt to see just...

I was wondering if a part's donor would be available in my area and BEHOLD!!! I'm building a Mach 1 but I'd be able to use quite a few parts off this IF i had the money to throw at it right now. Oh well, here it is if anybody is interested...

about the interior roof trim metal pieces around headliner. Are you talking about the actual roof supports that go under the the headliner? or would it be over the headliner??? Or between the headliner and roof? This part on top that's all bent up.. OHH!!! also, the trunk floor rear shock...
